New Books (and more) added to the Gardner-Harvey Library in June!


We are adding many new items to the collection each month, and making sure that you can see them on display! Take a look at our New Books shelves or skim down our new materials list of items we added to the collection in June! We added 62 books, e-books, DVDs, and other items during that time, thanks to your selections and suggestions. The list can be sorted by call number, area of our collection, or by title. There is definitely something here for everyone!

Here are ten titles from the list, to give you an idea of what we've been buying: 

  • Americanon : an unexpected U.S. history in thirteen bestselling books / Jess McHugh
  • The day the world stops shopping : how ending consumerism saves the environment and ourselves / J.B. MacKinnon
  • Gentelligence : the revolutionary approach to leading an intergenerational workforce / Megan Gerhardt, Josephine Nachemson-Ekwall, and Brandon Fogel
  • You're invited : the art and science of cultivating influence / Jon Levy
  • Policing Black bodies : how Black lives are surveilled and how to work for change / Angela J. Hattery and Earl Smith
  • Everyone knows your mother is a witch / Rivka Galchen
  • Shape : the hidden geometry of information, biology, strategy, democracy, and everything else / Jordan Ellenberg
  • Touring the climate crisis : saving the earth around the world / Osseily Hanna
  • The plague year : America in the time of COVID / Lawrence Wright
  • Finding the mother tree : discovering the wisdom of the forest / Suzanne Simard
This tag will show you all of the prior lists of new materials, in reverse chronological order. We are eager to hear from you about individual items you would like us to buy, or types of items we should be on the look out for, or general subject areas we should build up in the collection.

We had a very successful 2020-21 academic year, adding 1512 items to our collection.  Thank you for all of your suggestions and requests!  We've started our new fiscal year on July 1, and we're ready for new requests for the 2021-2022 academic year.

If you have a suggestion of something to order, please use our "Tell GHL to Buy It" form, email Amy Carmichael (carmicae@miamioh.edu), or drop by the library with your request. And pass your general suggestions or comments about the collection to us in those same ways. 

Thanks again for keeping our collection vibrant and your information needs met!
